Why is it important?
Educators need to understand better the interrelationships between emotional experiences and learning in natural classroom contexts, so that teaching and learning can be planned with both emotion and cognition in mind.
Perspectives
This chapter is important because it shows the influence of emotional intensity on learning. It also illustrates some innovative research methods where I have analysed facial and bodily actions to understand emotional fluctuations during a period of silent, online learning.
